This bill mandates the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to allocate funds and provide training to county prosecutors to enhance the investigation and prosecution of violations related to State wage and hour laws. Specifically, it requires each county prosecutor to appoint an assistant prosecutor dedicated to these enforcement efforts. This initiative aims to strengthen the legal framework against worker exploitation and ensure compliance with existing wage laws.

Additionally, the bill appropriates up to $2,000,000 from the General Fund to the DOLWD to support these activities, as determined by the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting in the Department of the Treasury. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a commitment to improving labor law enforcement at the county level.
